<p>Automatic upgrades on live sites are, we think most people would agree, a Bad Idea. You can’t test them before they go live; they’ll play havoc with your version control system, if you’re using one; and if they fail or screw up, your live site is broken. Bad. Idea.</p>
<p>Enter Staunch. Staunch makes you stick to best practice for upgrades, by preventing even admins and superadmins from running WordPress’s automatic upgrade processes on your live site.</p>
<p>When you want to upgrade WordPress, you can do so on a local or development install of your site; after you’ve tested it and made sure everything’s okay, you can then deploy the site as you usually would — through version control, FTP, or something else.</p>


Staunch

A WordPress plugin to prevent automatic updates on your live sites.

<p>Description: Hook into plugin and core upgrader to support SVN driven sites. Now you can freely use the WordPress auto upgrade features without worrying about the Subversion impact. Just upgrade in WordPress and then commit the changes in SVN.</p>
<p>Additionally, this plugin displays the current SVN version in the footer of your admin panel and uses the SVN version to append to your CSS and Javascript embeds so that every time you update from SVN, your media files are cleared form cache.</p>
<p>Requires that your system permissions allow shell_exec() to execute svn commands.</p>
<p>Donate – if this is generating enough revenue to support our time it makes all the difference in the world<br />

<h4>To Do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Account for SVN externals</li>
<li>Test to ensure the plugin is compatible with your server (that you can run exec svn commands)</li>
<li>Build an auto commit option? Not sure if this is a good idea.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>It’s pretty straight forward. When you auto upgrade a plugin or the core, this plugin automatically svn adds and removes files appropriately. That way you can keep your entire WordPress install in SVN.</p>
